Silly isn't it? I know that. I also know that this bad mood will pass as quickly as it arrived. I also know that the person who made the remark, is probably totally unaware of it's effect on me. But leave me alone, to enjoy my grumpy moment, please. They don't occur too frequently these days, and I want to wallow in my misery for a while longer.
We all do it I would think, make unthinking comments. It is impossible to spend too long thinking before we speak. Blimey! If we were to mind our P's and Q's all the time the art of conversation would surely die.
I do it. Used to do it a lot when I was younger. Not so much these days, but I'm sure it still happens occasionally. As I say, sometimes we are not even aware of it.
That's better! Got that off my chest. Now I am off to give my friend a hug. She, or he, I'm not saying, will perhaps wonder why they are being hugged. I shall tell them it's because I like them.
how could one not be cheery looking at that happy face. This made me laugh
ReplyDeleteJohn you are a hoot. Glad your mood lifted.
ReplyDeleteHey...I really like your header photo! It would make a great wallpaper...hint...hint.:)
I love reading your blogs, John! They give me a lift! Always entertaining and witty. Glad all is now well with the world! Thanks for coming on my run. A long distance runner once, I am intrigued. Did you see the light!
ReplyDeleteI do try to be tactful so as not to upset anyone. I'm glad you turned a gloomy face into a cheerful one in record time. How do you manage to capture a spider's web so well... my attempts have always ended in failure.
ReplyDeleteThats the boy, forget and forgive and it puts a smile on your face. However, it is not a bad idea to tell your friend that they hurt your feelings with such a remark and it will help them realise to be more sensitive in that area and not do it again.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos. Poor, pitiful, hurt John and then joyous, happy, ready-to-face-the-day John. Even your photography is artistic.
ReplyDeleteI used to be pretty sensitive myself and often take what people say to heart and let it bother me for a long time. I hope that as I'm getting older I can let things slide off my back more. Glad you're feeling better and go give that hug!
ReplyDeleteI understand having grumpy thoughts, the very same kind you were having. I have them very frequently myself. Sometimes I think I'm too sensitive about things, but sometimes I'm just angry at someone. It always passes for me too. Right now I think it's sometimes good to be in a dark mood. Then we all feel so much better when we come out of it.
ReplyDeleteNo one thinks before he/she speaks nowadays, since we live in this technology age. One blink and we will miss all tweets and facebook updates from hundreds of friends :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you feel better though, and I saw that your signature is up, woo hoo...
Well I have some of those days too, and when I was younger the grumpy days stays longer. Now I take it as if a teacher is teaching me something. Happy blogging
ReplyDeleteI know just how you feel. Sometimes I'm cut down really bad, and then I realize the other person doesn't have a clue how I reacted to what they said. Glad you are smiling again.
ReplyDeletethat was a really cute post. I liked the way you went about it, tying it in with your current moods.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Lil' things bother more that the biggies. At least it seems that way.
ReplyDeleteI love it you are very funny.Or I hate it you are so not funny. Everyone has two sides. :) B
